Chapter 26

The Next Day :

"Listen, Judy. You have to shut up !"
I snapped.
"I'm just saying, you would look good in blue !"
She gave me a disgusted look.
"Not that you look good anyway."

I sighed loudly in exasperation, and stormed out of classroom.
I raced down the stairs, heading towards the girls' bathroom, which was on the ground floor.

As soon as I went in, I sighed heavily, and closed the door behind me, making a small thud ( because it was broken ).
That's when I noticed that Shahd was there.
"What's wrong with you ?"
She said, giggling.

I shrugged, and looked in the small mirror, which was hung on the wall, and nearly shattered.
"You shouldn't care about what Judy says, you know."
I nodded. And we talked about quick, random things. But I stopped suddenly.

"Did you hear that ?"
Shahd asked.
It was faint knock, but it took me a few moments to realize that it wasn't coming from outside the bathroom, it was coming from inside one of the toilet stalls.
"I didn't know someone was in there..?"
I said, as she shrugged.

"I didn't either."
I turned around, and looked at the mostly-opened toilet stalls. All except one. The one which was right behind me. Right in the middle.
I gasped when I noticed red liquid dripping under the closed door.

Blood.
Just then, the door started swinging open. Little by little, making small creaking noises as it did so.
And I saw what shocked me.

The toilet had blood all over it, and on the floor was a dead body. A body of a girl. I didn't know who the girl was, but when I noticed that she was wearing Notre Dame's English section uniform, I knew I was just imagining her.

But then, I saw something.
An empty, messy room, which looked like it belonged to a prison. Fire. A quick, ghostly figure passing through an empty bathroom in Notre Dame. Me standing in front of Barron in a defending motion. Rajwan falling down on the ground and groaning in pain.

I saw it all. A vision.
I didn't have one in a while, and it didn't make sense I would see one now. But, I wondered what was it all about, as some of the images don't make any sense.

I didn't know why, but I screamed.
Shahd looked at me, confused, and noticed that I was seeing something that wasn't really there. She grabbed my forearm gently.
"Come on, Adelle, let's go."
She said soothingly, and helped me walk towards the bathroom door.

"It's okay. We just need to get out of here."
Just as she said so, she tried to budge the door open. The only problem was that it didn't really budge open..

"What..? Who's out there ?!"
I demanded, mostly on the edge of tears.
But I heard nothing.
"Somebody has to let us out of here."
Shahd said, slapping the door, which apparently wasn't loud enough.

I thought that what I saw in the bathroom earlier, the girl, and the blood was also a vision but turns out, it was just more than that.
